Photographs/Videos of Children

Policy on taking and using photographs and videos of children at Jesus Youth activities.

6.4 Photographs/videos of children

Parental consent to take photos/ videos of children during Jesus Youth activities is to be sought, prior to the event, through the parental consent form. Parents are to be made aware that It is likely that these images may be used as:

  • a record of the activity or the event
  • publicity material for further activities or events on leaflets/ the Jesus Youth UK website/ magazines
  • illustrations of the activities or events in published articles by Jesus Youth UK

When volunteers take photos of children, they are not to be stored on the volunteers personal device, but should be uploaded to the Jesus Youth server for security.

Jesus Youth understands that young people will take photos of each other, but if it is found that these photos are inappropriate in nature or being used in bullying, appropriate action will be taken.
